The Art of Lenticular
We are often asked how lenticular works and how the artwork is prepared. We have created this short presentation to walk you through the process. Click on the arrows below to proceed.

Lenticular Image Composition
The greatest contributing factor in creating dynamic lenticular printing is the composition of the artwork. We’ll be focusing on “The Birth of Venus” for this presentation. This artwork provides the potential for great dimensionality due to its interaction of characters and other graphic elements.

Lenticular Imaging
The first step of the process is to separate graphic elements from the artwork and place them on their own layers. The void that is created by removing an element must be filled-in with the objects behind it. This is a very time-consuming process. To help reduce time and preparation cost it is best to provide your artwork with as many layers as possible.

Lenticular Image Parallax
The next step of the process is to create “parallax.” Parallax is the position change of objects that are viewed from different vantage points. This is the very basis of stereographic or 3D imagery. This image demonstrates parallax very well.
|
 |
Lenticular Interlacing
The parallax images, called frames, are then spliced together to create an “interlaced” image. This image is a close-up of Venus’ face. The number of frames used, the splice configuration and the resolution of the interlaced file are based on the type of lenticular lens to be used. We typically use 12 images with our 100 LPI (lenticules per inch) lens

 |
Lenticular Lens Printing
The final step of the process is printing. The interlaced image is lithographically printed directly to the back of the lenticular lens. The lenticular lens is comprised of lenticules that serve different perspectives (parallax) of the interlaced image to each eye creating stereographic or 3D viewing.

Large Format Digital Lenticular Printing
Whether you need one or one hundred lenticular digital prints National Graphics has an economic solution for you. Our large format prints are vibrantly printed at a 720 dpi resolution and then laminated to the lenticular lens with a UV protective optically clear adhesive. You’ve probably seen some of our indoor point-of-purchase signage, framed artwork and greeting cards that we’ve produced for clients using this service.
Sizes produced have been from post card size to 38” x 58” (with a vertical lens orientation). Our standard lenticular lens is 60 LPI used for flips and 40 LPI used for 3D.
